I have been getting repeated BSOD for the past few months and I have tried all I know to remedy it. It crashes for no apparant reason and is annoying the hell out of me.When it blue screens I have been getting repeated 0x000000d1 codes but with different driver locations. I have either getting usbport.sys or atapi.sys. Atapi.sys seems to be the more common of the two. I tried running System File Checker (sfc) and got 99% through before is BSOD again!I have examined the screeds of info on the Microsoft website and nothing looks overly relevant or matches the symptoms I have been experencing.
Every now and then my PC (WinXP, Soltek MB) will pause at boot up after showing the two optical devices (first is a CDRW, second is a DVDRW) with the message after identifying the two optical drives "Boot from atapi ROM". Within a second or two it continues to boot up and everything seems normal EXCEPT when you push the DVD drive button, although its light comes on the drawer does not open! A re-start has always cured it. Consulting the various items in XP tellls me the "device is working normally".
I dont know what this means Saturday, August 20, 2005 atapi The device, DeviceIdeIdePort1, did not respond within the timeout period what does this mean and how do i fix it? i found the error on ADVANCED SYSTEM INFORMATION - ERROR LOG
I just recently had to do a repair on the ( OS XP Home SP2 System) and which was successful. In the process of re-installing the updates ( 81 ) , it will not install them ? Also, is there another way to download and install ? OS XP Home SP2.
I sure hope somebody here can suggest something to the following problem because it is starting to drive me insane.I have a motherboard with 2 normal IDE connectors and 2 SCSI IDE connectors via a Promise Ultra 100 onboard controller.I have 4 hard drives, all with a single partition except for my system drive which is split into two primary partitions.In the last two days, I've had three of my drives experience sudden problems.One lost it's MFT record effectively losing all the data on that drive.Two others all of a sudden are continuously needing CHKDSK run on them to get them to work.They keep having problems with the MFT as well, specifically with the volume BITMAP record as well as indexing problems.At the end of running CHKDSK on them it says that "The second NTFS boot sector is unwriteable.". This showed up first on only one of the two drives, but a few hours later it was on the other as well. Also, on one of them when I try to do a surface check with the /R switch, it gets to 37% then stops.
I have this major problem where my comp runs uber-slow untill I uninstall all the ATP/ATAPI controllers from my Device Manager and reboot. But the moment I reboot Windows reinstalls them again and after my next reboot my data transfer, and my comp in general is slow again.I have no clue as to why my comp runs fine without those controllers, but the moment they auto-install my comp becomes slow and jerky again.
can some one figure this out. I can not find any posting on the web about the following error.I am using dell inspiron 9300 running xp pro sp2.downloaded trial prevx from the web and when double clicked on the file to install, windows dataprotection message appeared to prevent instalation. Cpu was active, I quickly started system restore. The system will not boot to windows or access safe mode or any other mode. Tried microsoft article 307545 but the system started to go into loop and will not boot to any mode even though the blue screen is hardly visible now.
How do I tell XP to write the data NOW? It is very tiresome when one goes to shut down, and watch all the drives power up to receive those last bytes of data that would be lost forever if the system crashed.Is there a setting that allows one to force XP to perform these writes at an appropriate time,e.g., BEFORE powering down a disc? Or preferably with no delayed writes whatsoever?
This is a bit of a last resort. I'm running Windows XP SP3 on a fairly old computer from around 2006 (3.2ghz, upgraded to 4gb RAM etc.) I use a Belkin 802.11g wireless card, connecting to a Linksys WRT54G wireless router. A few months ago, I started having odd connection issues. Nothing new was installed/ uninstalled. Previously, the last thing uninstalled was a Steam version of M&Mark Messiah, but that was about a week previous. What would happen is that whilst browsing the internet (Chrome) the browser would not connect, saying 'Resolving Host'. When this was happening, no other browser would work (they'd just be 'loading'). Other programs would work (so, League of Legends would work except for the 'browser' bits such as news, Google Talk would work). I would have full signal, packets being sent, and I could always connect to the router config utility. I looked around, read a load of stuff about DNS problems, tried the fixes, with no luck. Eventually I stumbled across someone who recommended I turn off UPnP function of my router. I did so, and things miraculously worked. No problems at all.
Until last week. Despite the UPnP function being off, and despite not changing anything (to my knowledge) my internet has gone crazy again. It's worse than before. Posting this was an exercise in frustration - more 'resolving host' problems. Interestingly, the problem has spread to other programs - AdAware can't connect to the server and thus can't run, apparently; other scanners show no malware/spyware. Connecting to League of Legends is much slower - although once I am in the game, it runs entirely properly - as low a ping as ever. I've searched around and entirely failed to find a solution that works. On Chrome I disabled DNS-pre fetching, and that seemed to help, for about 2 minutes. Then back to normal.I have had ZoneAlarm installed in the past, and have Avast! running. I recently reinstalled ZA after the problems restarted to see if that would change anything, but nothing so far.
Closing Outlook 2000 Using "Exit" as Opposed to "X" on reopen norton spam addin buttons disappear and deleted folder does NOT empty even if settings to do so are correct. all is well if u do a file>exit....if u close with X and reopen no norton buttons and when deleted files remain?
I keep getting this blue screen of death. I don't know what is causing it and I don't know how to fix it. I happens randomly while surfing the web.I just did a clean install of windows. The only thing installed is my firewall (outpost) and my antivirus (fprot).I don't know what to do. I am using Windows XP Pro on a 3Ghz P4 with 1GB ram.Please, if anyone knows what this BSOD means or how to fix it, let me know.
I have a friend who's computer keeps giving him a bluescreen, and it doesnt show any information other than the stop code, and it says A thread crucial to windows has unexpectedly been terminated. I've researched the code and not many people have much information regarding it...Heres the code 0x000000F4, (0x00000003, 0x89134020, 0x89134194, 0x8060566e) we've checked the ram, its fine. i cant really get over to his house and replace the cable, live in two different cities, and hes kind of illiterate when it comes to this stuff. any help or info will be greatly appreciated,
I am facing a typical problem with my XP professional 2002 SP 3.While surfing internet the BSOD suddenly appears suddenly (no particular time, may appear may not appear)and go away putting my pc to restart automatically.So I can not give you the Error code also.
Whenever i insert a dvd into my dvd drive my pc freezes, and then bsod happens. It has only started happening yesterday and its the same result with all dvd's i have tried so far. If i cause the bsod to appear too many times my computer becomes totally unable to start up(it reboots at the welcome screen when windows is loading) and even safemode doesn't work. So basically i need help in fixing my dvd drive(i know it is the dvd drives fault because i ended up having to reformat and same error appears so i disconnected dvd drive for now.
Im getting the following error messages on a very frequent BSOD IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL If this is the first timeyou've seen this stop error screen, restart your computer. If this screen appears again, follow these steps: Check to make sure any new hardware or software is properly installed. If this is a new installation, ask your hardware or software manufacturer for any windows updates you might need.If problems continue, disable or remove any newly installed hardware or software. Disable BIOS memory options such as caching or shadowing. If you need to use Safe Mode to remove or disable components, restart your computer, press F8 to select Advanced Setup Options, and then select Safe Mode.
I think I have a driver causing trouble on startup. Every 4th or 5th time I boot, I bet a BSOD and the machine restarts. Sometimes it does it even after PC has been on for a while. I can not find anything in common with any of these crashes and have NOT installed any new drivers or hardware.What would be the best way to determine what's causing the trouble?
I am getting the BSOD again and here is the info PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA STOP:0x00000050 (0xE62D1010 0x00000000 0xBF228370 0x00000001) ati3duag.dll address BF228370 base at BF0D0000 Datestamp 4458dbcc Beginning dump of phyical memory Dump complete.
last week, my computer froze and my dad unplugged the power cord since he was the one using and now the xp keeps rebooting. it does not matter if i choose, safe mode, last known config, it keeps rebooting. it goes as far as letting you see the xp welcome screen, then for a second, you can see the bsod and it reboots. i have dual boot fedora/xp, both os in one hard drive. i replaced the original mobo about 3 months ago and now fedora does not work either. last night i downloaded pclinuxos live cd and booted off that cd and i can see all my files in the xp partition. so i thought it would be a simple, boot off the xp cd, select install xp, then select repair existing partition, but now after i select "install xp", the c partition shows up empty, as if there were no files in it. this is odd because when i restart, and select to boot windows normally it goes as far as the xp welcome screen, so obviously, xp is there. i also think there is something wrong with the mbr since i cant no longer see the grub dual boot selection screen. any help that you can provide is appreciated. this box is used in a small business and i would like to avoid having to reinstall. my specs, intel p4 2.8 lga 775, 1gb dual ram pc2 4300, intel mobo,
This has been going on for almost 3 months. I've never had this many issues with a box before. I'm getting BSOD left and right, I average about 7 a day:
Today I started up my PC and It said that one of the System files were missing. so i repaired Windows XP using the Windows XP installation disc. Now, when I turn on my PC everything works fine until, straight after i get the cursor on the Black Screen i get the BSOD, my PC Restarts too quickly for me to get any Error Codes. Before this happened (for like a week) my PC was stalling alot. heres my Specs.Intel Core 2 Duo E8200 2.66Ghz Overclocked to 3.731Ghz (FSB: 533, Multiplyer: 7) 26C idle, 40C under load -Asus P5K Premium WiFi/AP Black Pearl Edition Motherboard-Jeantech Storm 700W PSU-Jeantech Phong II ATX Case-Windows XP Proffesional SP3-Thermaltake V1 All Copper CPU Cooler-2x1GB Corsair Dominator 1066Mhz DDR2-PC8500 RAM in Dual Channel-HP DVD940i Lightscribe DVD Drive -Palit nVidia 9600GT 512MB GDDR3-Hitatchi Deskstar 250GB HDD. The Maximum CPU Speed my motherboard says it can take is 3.8Ghz, but i know my CPU can do more.
On bootup, after selecting XP in the OS Selection Menu, it refuses to boot. There is not BSOD which i can see even after "Disabling Automatic System Restart on Failure".I cant boot into any of the Safe Modes and the "Use last known good configuration that worked" does not work.Some of the things i did before this started to happen are as follows:
1) Ran an online virus scanner, namely OneCare
2) Used gpedit.msc..Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > System
My computer was getting old, freezing a lot, and just being annoying so I thought I would just give it a clean sweep. I don't have a CD so I did it by using winnt32.exe. I reinstalled and everything was complete and then when my computer rebooted I get the same BSOD error over and over again. This error happens at the Windows XP loading screen.
Got a computer, better specs than what I previously had. Transferred all the drives and components. There's only a new motherboard, processor, RAM, BIOS, onboard video/audio cards. It no longer boots fully. Booting into safemode the list goes down, hits the one component that it allows you to skip, then after cancelling, or loading that, it blue screens.I tried all of the available commands, Safe mode, VGA mode, debugging mode, service mode, normal, and last known config. All result in BSOD.Okay, I think I know what's wrong, so first I'm going to ask a simple question.If I install Windows XP on one computer, then later transfer the bootable harddrive to another computer, would it cause this problem?
I have huge problem with my computer. It is fairly new and I am very often receiving BSODs (My computer is formated 4 times since I bought it, and still experiencing BSOD, it is also checked by the technical stuff for hardware and software problem, and there is no problem, at least my technical stuff say it).Oftenly ACPI.sys and random executable files... Also it often happens when I install new software or some random applications. Today I installed the newest version of nod32 and it happend. It often gives me error IRQL_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
Welll i think i got tha BSOD because i installed a camera but anyways. yea ive tried to boot using my windows XP disc but my comp. wont let me boot from a cd. it just says 'stike F1 to retry boot; F2 for setup utility' and i press F1 and it gives me the same message. Im using windows XP office on a dell dimension 2400.
if i cant fix this does this mean i loose all my information? please don't say i will...
How would I go about restoring windows when all five startup options go to bsod? I get different stop messages when I choose different options. I thought about an OS re-install but can't find my disk, all I can find is the disk for my fiancee's Laptop. Hers was XP pro and mine was Xp home so I didn't think it would work, and besides I can't find any product codes or serial numbers for either. Am I going to have to format and buy a new OS or what?
Okay, here is my story. Around early august, I built a new gaming rig pretty much all by myself. All the parts cost nearly $800. But another guy did a few things for me, and set up the BIOS.Anyway,I installed a bunch of drivers on some cd's I had, and it looked like I was good to go. Anyway, from then to now, I have been through BSoD heck, among other problems.
The USB's killed 2 of my flash drives,and an ipod.I don't know how, but it defidenntly isn't a coincidence all of those things died.Anyway,I get BSoD's in the most random times,it happens a while I start my pc up. I can barely play games like Bioshock because of this problem.the error message that usually pops up on the BSoD is DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.
i have similar problem mentioned here URL... but the only difference is that i can use the PC normally without any problem. it gets BSOD only when i try to goto safemode by pressing f8 it says STOP 0x0000007B 0xF789E524 0xC000034 0x00000000 0x00000000
